I'm not aware of any offhand, but they can be found in the strangest places within your local community. For example, a flood destroyed the carpet of a community theatre I work with and we were able to get a grant to replace it through a local art festival.
You might also look at larger chain stores in your area, like Target, Lowe's or Wal-Mart. They often have community outreach programs that fund educational programs and the arts. You might even be able to work out a sponsorship or a donation. Broadening your search terms might help too, if you're trying something very specific like "facility enhancement grants" maybe try searching for "school grants, " "arts grants" or peruse the many options on grants.gov
If you aren't successful at finding a grant, there are lots of unique fundraising ideas here in the Community, just type in "fundraising" in the search bar.

Hey folks,
I've been looking for weeks and cannot find any grant applications that provide money for updating lights/sound equipment. Anyone have any leads? Thanks!
